Chapter 5101:1-25 Aid Payments

(A)
All underpayments shall be corrected
regardless of the date, reason, or cause of the underpayment.

(B)
All underpayments occurring after July 1,
1983 shall be corrected, and all underpayments occurring before July 1, 1983
but identified after that date shall also be corrected.

(C)
An underpayment may occur because of any
change in an assistance group's situation which increases the level of
assistance for which he is eligible.

(D)
An underpayment is caused by an error on
the part of the assistance group or an error on the part of the CDHS.
Underpayments and overpayments generally have the same causes. These causes are
given in rule 5101:1-25-32 of the Administrative Code.

(E)
When an assistance group is eligible for
assistance on the first day of the month, as a general rule the assistance
group is eligible for assistance for the entire month. A change in
circumstances during the month may affect the level of assistance for which the
assistance group is eligible that same month.

When a change in circumstances increases the level of
assistance for which the assistance group is eligible, the eligibility
determiner shall proceed to increase the grant. The budget adjustment must be
effective the first day of the month following the month in which the change
occurred. An underpayment exists from the date of the assistance group's change
in circumstances until the grant is increased. An auxiliary payment shall be
issued to correct the underpayment.

(F)
In accordance with rule
5101:1-1-13
of the Administrative Code, the CDHS must retain the case record on any
assistance unit which has an outstanding underpayment or is the subject of an
underpayment claim.
